Patent / Technologies / Methodologies / System etc. (Upto Five) :

  1. Pusa Basmati 1885: A bacterial blight (xa13+Xa21) and blast (Pi2+Pi54) resistant Basmati rice variety
  1. Pusa Basmati 1718 : A near isogenic line of Pusa Basmati 1121 carrying bacterial blight resistance genes xa13+Xa21.
  1. Pusa Basmati 1728: This variety is an isogenic line of Pusa Basmati 6 for bacterial blight resistance. This was developed through marker assisted backcross breeding wherein genes xa13 and Xa21 were pyramided in the background of Pusa Basmati 6.
  1. Pusa Basmati 1637: It is a near isogenic line of Pusa Basmati 1 incorporated with blast resistance gene Pi9 through marker assisted backcross breeding.
  1. Pusa Samba 1850: It is the near isogenic line of Samba Mahsuri carrying blast resistance genes Pi1, Pi54 and Pita
